On a tough corner in Millvale, but worth going out of the way for. Sandwich was delicious. Have gotten it before and will be getting it again. Hot but not really burning heat. The Chicken had a nice crisp to it and the bun held up a little better than most. Fries were addicting. The aioli is worth getting in addition. As a pair, both items together felt like a perfect ying and yang.

Church Brew Works is one of those places we check out at least once - especially when friends from…read moreout of town are visiting. The food and atmosphere here are very "Pittsburgh". The building itself was once the St. John the Baptist Church; in true Pittsburgh fashion, people restored and converted the original building to make it a functional restaurant. A note about the interior dining room: you can either sit on their dining side (which has larger tables) or the bar side (which has some booths but is primarily high tables and chairs). The menu has a good assortment of appetizers, soups and salads, sandwiches, and other entrées. They used to have both traditional pierogies as well as a "flavor of the week" option, although these days they seem to only serve the traditional ones. The menu is refreshed somewhat regularly, so over the years I've sampled salads, fish dishes, pasta dishes, and sandwiches. It's hard to have a "go to" order when it might disappear, but you'll likely find something good when you visit, given the range of options. (Currently, I'm a BIG fan of the Street Corn Arancini. Definitely give these a try while you can!) While the food won't necessarily knock your socks off, let's remember: this is the Church BREW Works. The beer and cocktail menus are definitely where it's at. According to Untappd their current beer menu includes an assortment of Belgian, Porter, Lager, Pilsner, IPA, and Stout style beers. I'm more of a cocktail person myself so I always sample something new when I dine here (again: the menu is refreshed regularly), and I have yet to be disappointed! Like I said at the start, this is one of those places that we try at least once. I'll still come here with friends for sure, but this is admittedly not an establishment that I'll go out of my way to visit. It's fine - not amazing, not bad, but fine.

We got the Steak Cibatta and Burger of the Month (Two Smashed Patties, Bakers Thick Sliced Bacon, American Cheese, Fried Egg, Garlic Mayo, Martins Potato Roll) and both were delicious! Steak was cooked perfectly and the ciabatta roll paired perfectly. Burger was basically a breakfast burger but had THICK slices of bacon, almost like pork belly, which was unique. Add a side of hush puppies, didn't know I could get them so good up north!, and we will be coming back for more soon!

Not super busy & staff was very friendly & attentive. We always enjoy the beers! Our party of 3 took advantage of the Happy hour draft pitchers & had the Archive: Amber Lager - they define it as Classic American amber lager brewed with pilsner, Munich, and crystal malts and hopped gently with Chinook and Willamette. Crisp and a touch toasty. I describe it as awesome I only took one picture tonight of my Pizza!!! Wow!! Full of flavor & cooked perfectly. The Lamb Sausage & Peppers pizza featuring housemade lamb sausage, roasted red peppers, confit tomato, ricotta and burrata cheese, hot honey, and basil. It was amazing. We also shared some of the house made chips & onion dip & wings. Then the rest of our party had the smash burgers. A fun relaxing night!! Definitely will continue to go to Cinderlands warehouse.

My girl friends and I came after four years of me wanting to come here. I love Gravel Grinder and live close to an OTB so heard of Dancing Gnome from that. Finally made our way there and well, make sure you do not bring young kids. My friend had an 18 month old with us and as she was BUYING a beer from them, the guy who worked there asked if she "could keep the screaming to a minimum." An eighteen month old!!! And Mother's Day is tomorrow, nice. He said that they had to draw a line somewhere and he wasn't kidding. The 18 month old was not running around screaming crying all day. We were outside having the kids play and when my friend was buying a beer he got a bit fussy and was told to keep it to a minimum. Needless to say, we will NOT be coming back. If you have small children, I would not suggest this place. Super disappointing. I've always hyped their beer and place up and now I can't support it. We ended up going to Grist House and it was a WAY better vibe and WAY busier...I wonder why. I should have known when their sign said no dogs allowed.

Our actual waiter comes by 5 mins later and says "yall still waiting on your food?" and im like.... yeah we ordered fried pickles and a steel city burger. he comes back out with the SAME BURGER that's been passed to us 2 other times and tries to give it to us. I say for a 4th time now that we ordered the steel city burger. instead of apologizing and correcting our order, he said he "didn't hear us say that." So I just said whatever and reluctantly took the plain burger. Now it's been like 35 mins and the burger is cold. we also never got out pickles. i just took the check and we left. $15 for a cold burger that i didn't even order.
